My local optics shop is currently selling the Victory SF 10x42 new for about £1400, which seems like quite a whack of a sale saving. What I'd like to know is how would I tell the age of them - i.e. if they're that price because they've sat in the shop for millennia and might be an older version. Has there been much change over the years to binoculars that could be considered to be 'Victory SF 10x42' that could account for such a sizeable price change? Their product info is the stuff that's on the Zeiss website today, but I've known shops to sell old models with new descriptions in the hope that people won't notice! They look like the pictured below, so are black not that weird grey colour.
If I was able to rustle up a serial number, how would I go about checking the age of them? Many thanks to anyone who could help.
